volksnuts’ Lariat Maverick build

[volksnuts]

Since it was still somewhat cool this morning (around 80 degrees) I drove back from my bike ride with all windows down system up
I folded down the back seat so the amps could breathe and when I go home (45 mins later) and decided to pay myself on the back for my amp placement
Both amps were barely even warm
I’ve not really ever thought about outside flowing over heat sinks…. We just always would be hiding the amps or putting them under plexiglass
Also realized I never created an audio system build thread
Maybe I’ll do that eventually

Love it man. Well done.

Interesting line up of different heights (out of focus because burger)

Some changes are coming that won’t impact the way the truck looks but will most def impact how my body feels when I’m driving this thing around
Sold my Skyline yesterday so I’m down to 1.5 vehicles (sharing the Jeep currently) so it’s time to get the better suspension option
If anyone doesn’t care much about ride and wants their AWD Maverick to sit low lmk
Soon I’ll have a set of slightly used Scale low version coilovers (plus a set of normal version springs already installed)

 

[volksnuts]

The truck was glowing that day, I guess because I was depositing the check from selling the Skyline so it knew Silvers coilovers were coming soon

 

[volksnuts]

After looking at several options I went ahead and ordered the Lawrence Giles spec Silvers coilovers

Anyone want some used Scales?

Truck looks good as always. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but it looks like ISC has rear adjustable control arms for lowered trucks.

Toe arms are only applicable for owners with AWD models only, correct? It's worth being clear here because of the lack of clarity I ran into as I did my Silvers' install on my hybrid (relative to the different rear suspension configurations). The FWD rear suspension is a lot simpler than the AWD.

Yeah, the toe arms are for AWD. And I'm not sure why they would be needed, I've got my silvers pretty much maxed out low in the rear and still have some toe adjustment left.
I guess you could use factory toe adjust to correct camber some and then use those adjustable arms to set toe.

The only issue I’ve had in the rear is camber but it’s not terrible
Toe was within spec using factory adjustment points

Same . i also hear isc are making camber arms. but the one the other guy shared the toe arms i did not had to used them to adjust my rear toe when i did my alignment camber still a issue but not much.

Awesome!

I ended up making my own camber arms. I have yet to install them, should work though... lol

 

[Johnny0625]

Yeah no prob. I put them on after work today. Hard to get a good Pic, but I have a good 1.5" clearance between frame and arm.
Most importantly it looks SOOO much better, I had almost 3° camber in the rear. "Stanced out" maverick did not look good LOL. Got it sitting at 1° now

Just to be clear for everyone who will ever read this - those camber numbers are negative 3° and 1° respectively, correct?
